So please recommend a good make. Budget - 8K.
3. Half decent head unit - 10 K |
Congrats on your new machine!
About Alloys, choose a design, ensure that they are of a reputed make and are light. This last one is important. That is what decides on your suspension life and handling. Heavier alloys can actually cause damage. However that "Indian make being bad" stuff is lot of bull. Neo and Aura make some real decent alloys. Also, the showroom guys who will tell you that if you take alloys from outside it voids your warranty actually sell you and OEM alloy made by one of these indian biggies (most probably Aura) at exorbitant prices :P
Anti-theft systems are many. But most are actually useless. If you search this forum you will come to the same conclusion as we all decided after lots of discussions on multiple threads. Besides anything more than the basic thing is actually of no use. Something fancy (like those touch sensitive ones) will start screaming the moment a mangy dog rubs itself against your parked car. Or the one that has an auto-engine cut-off for unlawful/forced entries may all of a sudden acquire a mind of its own and then the car will refuse to start. The best thing to do is to just get a basic remote locking and acquire a good gear-lock (or a steering lock). They are 1000 times more useful.
About ICE setup, well, we do have our in-house audio gurus who will help you out on that. |
